Yalda and Philippa Thomas oozed experience and calmness throughout their broadcast.
Mark Austin was brought into Sky News for the Sunday broadcast.
Today’s scenes from Kabul (I saw them on Sky News specifically) are astounding. Humans clinging to aircraft as they attempted to take-off will go down in history as one of those scenes (like the fall of Saigon) which everyone everywhere has seen.
I believe Lyse Doucet was also reporting LIVE from an aircraft whilst waiting to land in Kabul, on World News and World Service.
Lyse Doucet has just been telling Yalda why she wasn't able to land in Kabul on an Emirates flight and isn't sure as yet just how she'll eventually get there. Hovered over Kabul for an hour then had to return to Dubai.
